well, my one comes with the leather seat(paid for it), and without the spoiler, but i managed asked a nice numbers plate(not like normal plate),and put the numbers on all the glasses(oops..forgot how to say this),a free steering lock(a cheap one,i saw at thw carefour bout RM20 only),the umbrella,key chain,leather seat polisher..that's all.._________________Music is my LIFE!!!

Hi all, I am going to book for my Accent soon (YES!) and wonder what free stuff you all have managed to squeeze from the salesman. I would appreciate it if I could get a rough idea of what I will be able to get from him. Also, is it worth it to get the U-Kool (never heard of that brand) from the factory at RM298? Thanks

Welcome gvoyager,
yes, of course...if this is free..... or u may select the spoiler_________________Hyundai Accent Club of Malaysia www.myaccentclub.com動力強勁兼有力!

Hi...I am interested in buying Hyundai Accent. I found this forum recently. Acc I am quite happy to see Accent Club establised in Malaysia. However, after I have gone thru several topics, I realised that most of the time u all post the topic is about the complaints for the car. I m wondering, whether my choice is good or not ? I m very confused and afraid that if next time when I got Accent, I also have all the same problems that u all met. Since this is my 1st car to buy, I would like to confirm whether is it a smart choice or not, if compare to Wira? Could anyone help me to finalise the BENEFIT and DISADVANTAGES about the Accent? Thank u very much !

In fact, u shall post the questions to the topic of 1st Time buying a Car , but nevermind, I try to answer u over here...
all cars definitely got problems, but either it is minor or major problem,
if u do not believe, go to http://www.autoworld.com.my/forum/default.asp
view the forum of the Handa & Toyota....also complaint a lot, esp the more expensive one.........
for me, the problems happen to our accent are the minor one, and it does not happen to all the new Accent, maybe some of them affected
.....Hyundai Accent is great car but due to the poor local parts supply, so this kind of minor problems come out, but at least KB will try to solve for u unlike Proton... _________________Hyundai Accent Club of Malaysia www.myaccentclub.com動力強勁兼有力!

Hi Lee,

I can attest to slbeh’s statement. I bought my Accent (auto) in end Oct and have been enjoying my ride and liking it every day. You can read my posting in “Hyundai Accent Owners. Over Here!!” dated Nov 19.

And the thing about car problem, yes it’s thru…there’s lemon in every brand of cars, but probably certain brand / make has less / minor problems than the others. Let me share with you some true stories. A cousin of mine who drives a Camry had engine problem and had to send back to SC few times before he changed to a new regulator within one year. Another cousin who drives a Mercedes E Class had the top inside part of his car roof (the carpet-like part) fell down and the power window actually dropped into his car door. So, even foreign expensive car brands you can get these sort of problems.

My SA said could let me pick for the number (cost him RM210), and other freebies (I am sure they will be tiny ones) when booking the car! What a cheeky bugger! So I may turn to the KB at Taipan USJ instead of 222 (223?) I guess since it's nearer to my house.

Regarding the U-Kool, what is the color of it? I prefer to install something goldish to match the gold color of the car, and it's about the same price (or even cheaper) they are doing tinting outside (my bro-in-law owns an accesories shop in Balakong). I heard the factory installed tinting from the forum didn't do such a good job anyway and left bubbles here and there.

The FOC sound damper for bonnet and boot would be nice to get! **fingers crossed**

I am sure you can get it cheaper quoted with my name compare to other walk-in customers. However, I would suggest you to survey the price around first and see what kinda brand/tinting other shops are selling for 4doors+back. Adding the wind screen at the front will always cost more because it will be a different type which is approved by the JPJ for tinting at the front windscreen.

You know, I don't want anyone to say that I am doing this for his business to rip you guys off even more. I do like the goldish tinting which he put in for my sister's Kenari. He sells other known brands of tinting, but not those very high end like V-Kool - too expensive for many people.

Anyway just let me know if you want the details of his shop. It doesn't cost anything to get the price quotation if you live nearby Balakong. Cheers

Thank u so much, slbeh & tkj ...
May I know u own ur Accent baby for how long liao? so far u have met with what problems? Can list down for my reference?
Besides, Shld I go for Auto/Manual ? Semi-Leather? U-kool ? Spoiler?
Is the back seat space enough for ppl 2 sit ? coz I feel its qute small.
Why u all could ask the SA free for u so much of things? where u all buy it? I have gone thru Puchong,Old Klang Road, Jln 222.
but they only free arm rest(only for Auto), sterling lock, umbrella, leather cleaner, car number in window only...never mentioned abt seat massager....even nice car plate nid money, furthermore nid me go myself 2 register number plate...
All Accentians, do u have experience like this ?
